14.  THE  GENTLE  ART  OF  MAKING  ENE- 
MIES. Edited  by  Sheridan  Ford.  New 
York:  Frederick  Stokes  & Brother , 1890. 

Duodecimo.  In  original  paper  covers.  The  story  of  the  pub- 
lication of  this  and  the  “Paris”  edition  (No.  13)  has  several  ver- 
sions. See  Pennell’s  “Life  of  Whistler,”  Chapter  xxxiv,  Don 
C.  Seitz’s,  “Writings  by  and  about  Whistler,”  Introduction  and 
the  following  from  one  of  Walter  M.  Hill’s  catalogues  (1910). 

“The  exceedingly  rare  earliest  edition,  and  a very  interest- 
ing volume,  both  as  regards  the  circumstances  under  which  it  was 
printed  and  the  fact  that  it  differs  very  largely  from  Whistler’s 
own  edition  (published  several  months  after  this  issue,  but 
hitherto  generally  regarded  as  the  first  and,  indeed,  up  to  the  time 
of  its  recent  reprinting,  as  the  only  edition  of  the  work). 

“The  present  volume  is  a i2mo  of  256  pages,  printed  on  very 
heavy  glazed  paper,  and  was  compiled  with  Whistler’s  full  ap- 
proval. This  sanction  was  withdrawn  on  the  eve  of  publication, 
the  artist  writing  to  Mr.  Ford  that  he  had  finally  decided  on  an- 
other of  his  friends  as  editor.  An  amusing  and  interesting  ex- 
change of  letters  then  took  place  (all  of  which  are  given  in  the 
volume),  after  which  Mr.  Ford  printed  his  edition  in  Belgium  for 
shipment  to  New  York,  Messrs.  Stokes  being  named  as  the 
publishers.  The  bulk  of  this  edition  was  seized  at  Antwerp  by 
Mr.  Whistler’s  legal  representatives. 


“The  book  contains  Whistler  letters  dating  as  far  back  as  1862, 
sixteen  years  earlier  than  the  date  of  the  first  letter  in  Whistler’s 
edition;  and  includes,  among  the  later  letters,  some  which  Whist- 
ler either  revised  or  else  omitted  entirely.  Among  the  revised 
letters  are  those  relating  to  Whistler’s  celebrated  controversy 
with  Mortimer  Menpes,  in  which  dispute  Mr.  Ford  was  the  cham- 
pion of  Whistler’s  cause.  Among  those  omitted  in  Whistler’s 
edition  is,  needless  to  say,  the  correspondence  with  Sheridan  Ford. 

“Regarding  the  rarity  of  the  volume,  it  may  be  noted  that  the 
London  edition  of  the  Herald,  in  March,  1890,  stated  that  ‘the 
entire  edition’  had  been  seized;  while  The  Times  remarked  that 
‘the  untiring  efforts  of  a persistent  adventurer  at  length  results 
in  furnishing  Mr.  Whistler  with  the  first  and  only  copy  of  this 
curious  work.’  The  Pall  Mall  Gazette  refers  to  the  volume  as 
‘a  great  literary  curiosity.’ 

“Messrs.  Stokes,  writing  in  response  to  an  inquiry  respecting 
the  volume,  explained  that  although  their  name  appeared  as  the 
publishers  they  never  handled  the  work.  ‘ Most  of  the  copies ,’ 
they  write,  ‘ were  burned  up  in  our  fire  in  1890.  We  do  not  believe 
that  a copy  of  this  edition  could  be  secured  anywhere.  There  were 
only  about  twenty-five  in  existence.  ’ 

“Both  the  Paris  and  the  New  York  editions  are  prior  to  Whistler’s 
own  London  one.  The  two  pirated  and  suppressed  editions  are 
evidently  printed  from  the  same  type  or  stereo  plates.” 

15.  THE  GENTLE  ART  OF  MAKING  ENE- 
MIES. As  pleasingly  exemplified  in  many 
instances,  wherein  the  serious  ones  of  this 
earth,  carefully  exasperated,  have  been  prettily 
spurred  on  to  unseemliness  and  indiscretion, 
while  overcome  by  an  undue  sense  of  right. 
London:  William  Heinemann , MDCCCXC. 

Square  octavo.  First  authorized  edition.  Bound  by  Riviere 
& Son,  London. 

16.  THE  GENTLE  ART  OF  MAKING  ENE- 
MIES. As  pleasingly  exemplified  in  many 
instances,  wherein  the  serious  ones  of  this 


earth,  carefully  exasperated,  have  been  prettily 
spurred  on  to  unseemliness  and  indiscretion, 
while  overcome  by  an  undue  sense  of  right. 
London:  William  Heinemann , MDCCCXC.

PIECES.  Small  collection  kindly  lent  by

edition.  From  the  Sidney  Colvin  collection.  Catalogue  of  the 
famous  exhibition  at  the  Goupil  Gallery,  London,  1892.  Orig- 
inal brown  paper  covers.  Seitz  states  that  the  first  edition 
“was  destroyed  by  fire  except  about  six  copies.” 

Whistler  called  this  exhibition  “my  heroic  kick  in  Bond  Street.” 
It  marked  the  turn  in  the  tide  of  public  appreciation  of  his  work.
